Cold Turkey

I did it. I quit Facebook.

Big deal though, right? I didn't want to do to sign-up for Facebook in the beginning but then decided that I'd give it a try and conduct a few experiments along the way. Everything I thought would happen did and more. Today was not only Memorial Day but it was also Quit Facebook Day. So, because of the various things I saw and experienced while using Facebook and the major issues surrounding the lack of privacy with Facebook, I thought that I would participate in this special occasion by doing that very thing, quitting.

Now, if you want to quit Facebook keep in mind that just "deactivating" your account will not really remove your account. In order to actually quit Facebook you'll need to go to this link, scroll down to the short method, click on the link shown, and then indicate to FB that, yes, you really do want to delete your account.

Happy Quit Facebook Day!
